Vacherie du Parc

The Vacherie du Parc is a historic former municipal dairy located in the scenic Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon, France. Designed by architect Tony Garnier, it was established in the early 20th century to provide milk for orphans and featured a stable, a milk pasteurization facility, and accommodations for cowherds. Although it ceased operations in 1919 due to inefficiency, the building has undergone various transformations, including serving as a rearing house and later as an administrative facility. With its unique architectural style and historical significance, the Vacherie du Parc is a noteworthy site for visitors interested in Lyon's heritage and the evolution of urban agriculture.
